Today, many will gather in Washington for the “March for Marriage” in support of upholding a traditional definition of marriage in our legal system. For those who understand that homosexual, bisexual and transexual behavior is morally wrong, it is offensive to redefine “marriage” to mean anything other than a legal commitment between a man and a woman. We believe it threatens a divinely inspired social order that is best for stable homes and healthy human relationships that inspires commitment, bodily health, and emotional stability of the family and society.
In a post-Christian pluralistic culture, does there need to be some legal protection for those who embrace a different view? Perhaps our legislature needs to compromise with the establishment of “Civil Unions” but in doing so we recognize that we then lessen moral standards of our country and may inadvertently be promoting moral confusion. We have already lessoned our standards in other areas such are the sanctity of human life, pornography, gambling, etc. “Civil Unions” would at least maintain the distinction between a traditional understanding of marriage and a new liberal definition being pushed through our government at this time.
Pray for our legislators. Pray for a spiritual awakening and moral revival that would reestablish Christian moral values to our nation. Pray for people that they may find health and salvation in the ways of the Lord and not be deceived by the liberal ways of the world.
